String.endsWith(matchStr)

String.endsWith() returns Boolean true if the chained string ends with the literal string matchStr. Note that matchStr cannot be a regular expression, only literal string values are allowed.

For example, if $MyString is "I do not like green eggs and ham":

$MyString.endsWith("ham") returns true
$MyString.endsWith("eggs") returns false

Also, with string literals:

("There are gentlemen now abed.").endsWith("abed") returns true 
("There are gentlemen now abed.").endsWith("night") returns false 

This operator searches for literal strings, not regular expressions. Matches are case sensitive:

("There are gentlemen now abed.").endsWith("Abed") returns false 

See also String.beginsWith(). If you need to search a String for a regular expression, use String.contains().
